Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I have a bunch of Rhino's New Wave comps if you want to peruse or rip.

New Order, Yaz, Erasure, and Marc Almond songs (all played in one 30-minute set) are what usually prompts the Stunt Husband to raise his hands and yell "Gay DJ Bingo!" on Saturday nights at the club.
I would also suggest Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, Adam Ant, and Bow Wow Wow. Ooh, and "Johnny Are You Queer?" by ... crap, I can't remember. Off of the Valley Girl soundtrack.
Dead or Alive.
"Gay DJ Bingo!"
HAR! I so want to go dancing with you guys.
Romantics' "What I Like About You"?
I'm thinking "Talking In Your Sleep", maybe.
This is really fun, y'all. Thank you!
"She's a Beauty" by the Tubes?
Oh, I love "She's a Beauty."
I think I actually have the 12-inch of Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" ... somewhere.
General Public and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I think my favorite song for that era and genre was Duran Duran's "Relax". (Unfortunately the Anne Rule book about Diane Downs sort of ruined Duran Duran for me.)

Josie Cotton.
Anyone mention the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star"? Or Berlin "Sex (I'm a...)" or "The Metro"? Or Split Enz "I Got You"?
